Frisky Animals #45
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis anthology issue opens with a circus-themed story featuring a cow, cat, and fiddle performing in a carnival act, where the cow attempts an impossible leap over the moon that turns out to be a fake backdrop, leading to comedic complications. The issue also includes "Broken Beak," by Mickey Klar Marks, in which Morton Mallard the duckling runs away from home after a cat bites off half his beak, only to discover that his broken beak causes him constant hardship and humiliation, ultimately driving him to abandon his family permanently. Additionally, the issue features "Tick, Tack and Toe," a story about a kangaroo with kittens in her pouch who encounters difficulties when the kittens sleep through the day and cause chaos when she tries to find them proper shelter at night.
Dopsy Durvy, a cheese salesman with a knack for curiosity, sets off on a wild journey after hearing a nursery rhyme about a cow that jumped over the moon—only to discover the cow is actually trapped on the moon by a grumpy, cheese-obsessed Man-in-the-Moon. Using a cannon-powered rocket-rabbit launch system, Dopsy rockets to the lunar surface to free the cow, only to find himself tangled in a bizarre, high-stakes scheme involving canned goods and a very hungry lunar resident.
Spunky skips school to catch a vaudeville show, but when the truant officer shows up, he bolts onto the stage—right into the middle of a magician’s act, a juggling routine, and a tumbler’s performance.
